MRI Scan Part-4

MRI Scan At A Glance

• MRI scanning uses magnetism, radio waves, and a computer to produce images of body structures.

• MRI scanning is painless and does not involve x-ray radiation.

• Patients with heart pacemakers, metal implants, or metal chips or clips in or around the eyes cannot be scanned with MRI because of the effect of the magnet.

• Claustrophobic sensation can occur with MRI scanning.
